Where does potential energy go when it is converted into kinetic energy?

When potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, it is transformed into the energy of motion.


Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)


What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?

If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.


Is potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?

It CAN be converted to kinetic energy, but it won't always do so.


What is the same has kinetic?

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, as seen in a swinging pendulum where potential energy at the highest point is converted into kinetic energy at the lowest point.


What is the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy. The two are related because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy and vice versa.


How is kinetic energy different from potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.


Is kinetic energy the same as potential energy?

No, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.


How are potential and kinetic energy related?

Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.


What type of energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work?

Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work.


Why potential energy can not be converted into kinetic energy?

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy. For example, when an object is released from a height, its potential energy due to gravity is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. This conversion follows the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.


What energy is used when skydiving?

Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when skydiving. As the skydiver jumps from the plane, they have a high potential energy due to their height above the ground. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy as the skydiver accelerates towards the ground.
